Onlive is... live : controller? Phonejoy?

Pretty exciting stuff. I gave it a shot and it seems to work well, but you really need a controller to go anywhere. Has anyone tried a phonejoy or similar with onlive? Or would you need to get the onlive branded one?

I actually just got my shipment notification from Phonejoy. I'm very interested in seeing if this will work. I'm crossing my fingers since phonejoy states the app must allow keyboard input for their controller to work. Onlive certainly allows for keyboard input. I'll report back once I get my controller.

PhoneJoy partially works
SO far I have managed to get the direction keys to work, but not the regular buttons. I will let you know when or if they are working.

Can we use the sixaxis program and use our wireless ps3 controllers for this?

I'm wondering, has there been any developement? I would LOVE to get my Phonejoy working on OnLive, it would make it simply perfect.

i just emailed onlive.
ofcourse, they want us to buy a universal onlive controller, otherwise they are unwilling to help.
heres a thought, figure out what keys do what on a bluetooth keyboard paired with the phone and then set up phonejoy to use these keys as buttons.

Yes, assuming sixaxis controller works on the SII. Only used it on my Tab

Could anyone provide an update on whether this was successful for you guys? My Kindle Fire HD is arriving tomorrow and I'm interested in using the phonejoy bluetooth controller with it and the OnLive gaming service.
P.S. The noob video for this site is hilarious. And awesome. I hope I'm doing the right thing. :laugh:

How To Setup A Wiimote On A Galaxy S3

heya,
here's how to setup a wiimote and classic controller on GSIII the easy way, no root:
http://www.yannickstechblog.com/2012/08/how-to-setup-wiimote-on-galaxy-s3.html

Thanks for using my app! :good:
I should mention though, use only original wiimote and especially the classic controller. Also, some of the newest "with motion plus inside" wiimotes don't seem to work right. In any case, I suggest a try before you buy tactics!

you're welcome and well, thank you for developing it

if it doesn't work using it in "bluetooth gamepads", try "key mappings" to assign hardware buttons. this should work!

logitech k400

If you want something small and only for basic infrequent use, like the occasional text input or quick mouse usage, then I use this and love it.

K320 works fine.
But I need to change the keyboard layout.

[Q] games controllers for unrooted

What are the best game controller to work with an un-rooted AFTV?

With the new update I'm using my wired Xbox 360 controller plugged into a hub. It works great with KOTOR and Tales from the Borderlands.

Red samurai from GameStop

The official fire tv controller is actually pretty good. Dualshock 4 is great, but the battery only lasts a few hours.

Thanks everyone. Jsuh0 - just to confirm - does the Red Samurai work without root with the standard keymap?

I read over on http://www.aftvnews.com/alternate-game-controllers-compatible-with-the-fire-tv/ (fifth of sixth comment down) that you need root to edit the keymap for it to work properly.

+1 red samurai works great. And is cheap like $7

Amazon fixed the keymap with lastest fire tv update. So it doesnt need to be edited.

So there are no other issues with using the DS4 on the Fire TV now?

I don't think so. The only thing that sucks is the battery life is so bad, and there is no indicator if it is running low, so it could just die on you in the middle of a game. Besides that, it's the best possible controller you can use in my opinion. I have not used it on an unrooted ftv though, but it shouldn't make any difference.

Does this also go for the PS3 DS3 controller?

@octra,
Damn that is awesome news! What would be the button layout when using a 360 controller on an AFTV? Does the X button act as the Home button?

No, DS3 doesn't work without root. You need an app called "sixaxis controller" to use it.

is there something that can be used as an all-in-one device..gamepad, mouse,& keyboared. dont want to have to buy several pieces of hardware to use with this fire tv stick. something like the sony google tv remote . I have one of those but the stick wont recognize it , even with settings.apk

Thanks for the info. I take it sisaxis is a root only app?

dont think that is bluetooth. might have a usb dongle to be able to use which makes it impossible to use with the fire stick
